1 year since Travis Porter quit smoking tomorrow.

[Travis Porter]

No, it isn't your cigarettes, I just like your legs.

Well, maybe it is the cigarette smell. ;-)

I think I am now a bit over 4 months after 53 years

That's awesome Steve! There is definitely a turning point after 3-4 months, where you stop obsessing over it every fifteen minutes and only have cravings every hour or so :rolf:

Seriously, this is great news. Just don't let your guard down.

Congrats as well Steve!!!

I dreamed about cigarettes last night. Dreamed I was sneaking them and smoking and telling everyone I was still quit...... Mmmmmm...........

Way to go Travis, my two year date is Febuary 21, still think about it but do not need the hacking. I do not think I will ever be offended by the smell.
Steve, keep at it, you will be thankful in the long run. I only smoked for 42 years. Somewhat cheated, no cold turkey, used Chantix, it worked for me.

Later,
Albert :saw:

Way to go Travis. Four months left this time to the one year mark for me. Have quit a couple of times prior for a couple of years, but I think that watching my father die from smoking related CHF "congestive heart failure" has cured me from the nicotine itch. I salute all that have quit.:thumbs_up:thumbs_up:thumbs_up

Way to go Steve and Tracy! I remembered that you both quit this year, I just could not remember when. Keep at it.

My mother quit over 35 years ago. She turned 77 on the 27th. I am strongly convinced that we would have lost a long time ago if she had kept smoking. She did it on her own. (Well I did flush a carton of Kent down the toilet once.:embarrassed She transitioned to my Dad's cigars and then pipe and then nothing. The doc's were amazing at how her bronchitus cleared up in 6 months. My Dad later said that she had not slept through the night in years.

I know how hard it is and I really applaud all of you in your commitment!:eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap.

I quit in 1973, more than 35 years ago -- I went cold turkey after being sick with bronchitis and trying to smoke after the fever broke. Stubbed the Marlboro out immediately and have never had another to my lips since. I hope it adds 35 years to my life -- it has been nice to be able to taste and smell for these past 30+ years!

Congrats Travis. Keep on keeping on. I quit at 11:50 PM on Dec. 31, 1974. Not a new year's resolution but my mental crutch was I wanted to see how far into 1975 I could go without smoking. I got thru that year and the following 33 with no problem.

Roger, I'm doing well with maintaing the 83 lb weight loss. I did indulge a bit over the holidays and probably gained 4-5 lbs. but after eating my traditional New Year's Day meal of black-eyed peas, collard greens, and pork tonight that will come off in a week or so. Gotta run, the dinner bell just rang.

Way to go Travis, and Steve, and all the rest that kicked the habit!!! Not smoking is a better habit, and besides, look at all the TOOLS you can buy with the money you save. :icon_thum:icon_thum:icon_thum:icon_thum
